- Protects fragile proteins from sugar-induced damage.
- Improves insulin sensitivity and often lowers blood glucose levels.
- Helps prevent the formation of advanced glycation end products and may even destroy certain cross-links.

Aminoguanidine can prevent the formation of advanced glycation end products and may even destroy certain cross-links.
Many age-related degenerative diseases, such as vascular, neurological and vision problems, originate from glycation and glycosylation, processes in which glucose molecules bind to proteins, "caramelising" them in such a way as to render them inoperative. Increasingly, scientists consider excess blood sugar to be the second most important 'metabolic catastrophe' after oxidation that the ageing body faces. It seems that rusting (oxidation) and caramelisation (glycation) combine to transform young, strong bodies into ageing, weakened ones.
Aminoguanidine is one of only three identified nutritional substances (the others being carnosine and benfotiamine, also available to buy at Supersmart) which can stop this damage. Each of these substances acts through specific mechanisms and their combined use makes for considerable synergy benefits. The aminoguanidine we offer is the hydrochloride form (HCL) used in clinical studies demonstrating its efficacy. As its half-life in the body is only four hours, it is best to spread the dose evenly over the day.

In the United States, berberine is one of those substances that people just can’t get enough of. Though previously little-known among Western populations, it is now becoming the new anti-ageing and anti-diabetes weapon, because by improving insulin sensitivity and facilitating the transport of glucose into cells, it appears to be as effective as conventional drugs at enhancing the body’s ability to use glucose and insulin and so lower blood sugar.
